Anyone know of/have access too - a weight bridge somewhere in Melb?

There used to be one in Tullamarine i used to use years ago at a logistics company outside thier gate but its no longer there so that kinda sucks.

So im looking for another (as are a few mates) so we can weigh our cars and find out the actual numbers :banana:

Lemme know!

Cheers :D

we have scales for our work commodore cup cars so you can find out the weight on all 4 corners. i'd have to ask the mech for permission though seeing as i'm not technically allowed to use the workshop (even though i do :banana:)

Try a local tip/waste transfer station - Not sure if it is free or not.....

or

you can fool them into saying you have rubbish to dump, you then have drive up onto the scales, peer over into the office and you will see the weight of your car. :banana:

I weigh my patrol at BP in Fitzgerald road in laverton. Cant do corners but can do axels!!

I go when its not busy, ask first and they dont charge me......or you can just drive on the weighbridge, go inside and look at the screen behind the cashiers head and it has the weights there!

Ash, there's one in Cheltenham/Moorabbin at the Metal recyclers... i don't think they charge from memory, but if they do it would be in the $5-$10 range.

It's opposite the street that Snowy works down...

Ahhhh found it, Highett metals

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
